How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bostic Veterinary Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

We have been coming to Bostic Vet for almost 13 years and we highly recommend this office. We have always been well taken care of, listened to, and provided the highest quality of care. The front desk is always friendly and helpful, the Vet Techs are great, and all the doctors are fantastic. I have had three dogs cared for here. Two have passed on, and Bostic was a huge comfort to us during those times. The compassion and care exceeded expectations and provided us with so much support during very sad loss. Our newest dog has been seen here over the last two years and this past weekend was the first time I used the boarding services. They took such great care to answer all of my questions, show me the boarding area, and walk me through the process. I was so impressed by the kindness of the staff, and they took excellent care of my dog. I was anxious to leave him for his first boarding and they allowed me to take him back to is kennel and get his bed set up and say goodye. I can't thank Bostic Vet enough for taking such great care of Chase and always putting our minds at ease knowing our furry family member is getting the best care. You all are awesome and we truly appreciate you!

Bostic is the best vet! They are always compassionate and have taken care of all four of our rescued fur babies since 2000. You can tell Dr Szabo loves caring for animals and we trust her expertise to keep our dogs healthy. We adopted our newest hound, who had heartworms and a host of other health issues, last May. Dr Szabo explained the entire, lengthy process as our pup underwent the months-long treatment, and now she is a healthy and happy dog with a second chance at life. I also very much appreciate that they will get our pups in quickly for appts when we've experienced a few minor emergencies over the years. They were empathetic with us and very gentle with our first two babies when it was their time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you to everyone at Bostic, you guys are amazing. We appreciate you so much!

The vets and entire staff at Bostic Veterinary Hospital are the best in Virginia Beach! I have been trusting them with my pets for 32 years and have found them to be the most caring, engaged, and empathetic group I have encountered. They are always bright and friendly and always remember your name and the name and history of your pet. Choose them!

Bonnie the dog says: One of my life rules is: "If you are nice to me I will cooperate with you." My mom always gets great reports about what a good girl I am and it's true, but it's because everyone at Bostic Veterinary Hospital is so kind and patient that I like it there. My mom also says that the vets are very knowledgeable and thorough, the front desk staff is friendly and helpful and the vet techs have a magic touch with animals. I am glad my mom takes me to Bostic Veterinary Hospital.
